BiSrCaCuO thin films have been deposited on MgO single crystal substrates by spin-coating a solution based on 2-ethylhexanoate precursors dissolved in xylene. Pyrolysis takes place between 200°C and 450°C and is accompanied by the release of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, CO and HO vapour. Highly c-axis oriented BiSrCaCuO as well as Er- or Ho-doped BiSr(Ca,Ln)CuO (Ln Er, Ho) films were obtained after heat treatment at 840°C in air. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
